Chapter One
Prologue: A New Sister!
A five-year old boy ran as fast as could, trying to escape the mob of angry villagers coming after him. He didn't know why they hate him, they just do.
He turned into an alley, hoping to lose the mob. Fortunately, the villagers didn't turn like he did and kept on going, shouting curses and insults at the boy.
The boy sighed in relief, running his hands through his blonde spiky hair. He turned and ran further in the alley, just in case the villagers decided to check them. As soon as he turned, however, he hit a hard surface. He looked up and blue eyes widened as he saw three ninjas, all holding a kunai or a katana.
"Look here, boys. Seems the demon wants to play." Said the one the boy bumped into. He was an average looking shinobi with short brown hair and dull-brown eyes. There was nothing noticeable in his appearance.
"P-please. I didn't do anything wrong. Please don't hurt me!" screamed the child. He remembered them from all his previous beatings. They were always the one to land the first and finishing blows.
"Tch. The demon is begging for mercy?!" The other one, a black-haired and green-eyed man, said with venom.
"Why won't we hurt you?! You killed our families and now you'll PAY!" the last man shouted as all three of them lunged at the little boy.
The blonde just curled up in a fetal position, eyes closed as he braced himself for the beating. As a few moments passed without feeling any punches or kicks or stabs, the boy opened his, only to see the face of a girl. She was crouched low, to look at him thoroughly, sapphire eyes looking for any signs of injury.
"W-who are you?" the boy- Naruto- asked, uncertain if she was a friend or a foe.
The girl smiled at him, her blue-black hair framing her heart-shaped face. "I'm Kagome. What's your name, little one?" she asked gently.
"Naruto. Uzumaki Naruto." He answered. He closed his eyes, afraid that she, too, will beat him once she knew who he was. Instead of pain, he felt the girl ruffle his hair.
"'Maelstrom' , huh? That's a pretty cool name." Kagome said to him smiling. He stared at her in disbelief. No one complimented him before. All he always got was curses and insults.
The girls stood from her crouching position and wiped the non-existent dust off her skirt. She held a hand to him and helped him get up. She smiled at him again and asked, "Do you have anyone waiting for you at home? I'll walk with you just in case those mean villagers decided to chase you again."
The blonde looked down, tears filled his eyes.
"N-no one is waiting for me. I- I live alone in an apartment. I'm an o-orphan."
Kagome smiled sadly at him. She picked him up and carried him as one would when burping a baby."Don't worry. I'm an orphan, too. I lost my family to a fire. So we're the same, ne?"
The boy didn't say anything, just tightened his arms around her neck as if it could make her know that he understands.
After a few moments of them just walking the streets, the girl asked, "Would like to live with me, Naruto? I could become your 'nee-chan' if you want."
"N-nee-chan?" he asked. "You'll really make me your little brother?"
"Only if you want to, of course."
"Yes!" he exclaimed, hugging her tighter. She giggled softly before everything was silent once more. The boy already fell asleep, a smile on his face.
Shortly, they arrived at a small but homey house, at the edge of the village.
She tucked the sleeping boy on her bed before changing clothes. She brushed her teeth and went to bed, hugging the boy close to her.
Meanwhile, the three ninjas in the alley lay forgotten on the ground, writhing in pain.
~MORNING~
Naruto, reluctantly, woke up. He had a great dream about a pretty girl who wanted to be his nee-chan.
He sat up, and rubbed the sleep out of his eyes. He took the blanket and jumped of the bed. He made the bed and went to his bathroom, only to notice something. He looked around 'his' room to see that he wasn't in his room. Heck, he wasn't even in his apartment.
He was in an average-sized bedroom with light-blue walls. There was a bookshelf, filled to the brim with books and some scrolls, by the wall opposite the bed. Next to the shelf was a desk with pens and paper and some notebook. Next to the bed is a bedside drawer with a pale pink lamp.
"Where am I?" he asked himself. He heard some sizzling in what he thought was downstairs. He went outside the room and into the hallway. He saw three more doors- another bedroom, a bathroom and a locked room. The two bedrooms were across from each other. The bathroom was next to the spare bedroom while the locked one was next to the bedroom he came out of.
He heard the sizzling once more and followed it down the stairs. He was in the living room. It was a simple one. A coffee table surrounded by two blue sofas with white throw pillows. There was a door to his right which, upon checking, was a stairway down to the basement which held a laundry room and another locked room.
"Why are there so may locked rooms?" He thought. He went back upstairs and went to what he thought was the kitchen and dining room.
The kitchen and dining room was one big room, the kitchen area separated from the dining area by an island. The island already has plates on it, filled with bacons, eggs, sausages and there was orange juice.
"Good morning Naruto." Someone greeted from behind him.
He turned around and saw the lady from his dream.
"K-Kagome..?" he asked.
She raised an eyebrow. "What's the matter, otouto? Still sleepy?"
"Y-Your R-real… that means..." tears filled his eyes as a smile appeared on his face. He ran to the girl and hugged her. "Nee-chan!...I a-actually have a nee-chan."
"Yes, you do." She pulled away from his hug and sat down on one of the island's stools. "Come on. I cooked breakfast. Didn't know what you liked so I just cooked the normal breakfast menu. Bacons, eggs, sausages and orange juice."
"Whoa. There's so many!"
"I made it just for the two of us so you could have as much as you want."
"Really?!" after receiving a nod, he began to gobble down the food like there's no tomorrow.
"Easy there, Naruto. You might choke. And it's not like you're going to run out of food. Eat slowly." Kagome reprimanded.
"Bgh ish sho berishus!" Naruto said, his mouth full of food.
The girl sighed. "And don't talk with your mouth full. Looks like I need to teach you some manners."
The boy swallowed and asked."Ne, Ka-..um..nee-chan.." he said with a small smile, " why are there locked rooms?"
"Oh, those? I just thought that I should lock them up for now."
"Why?"
" Because. The one upstairs is a weapon room. I locked it up until I could train you how to handle a weapon. That way you won't hurt yourself."
"Okay…but what about the other one? The room in the basement?"
"The training room. A dojo filled with some swords. That's where I'll train you, starting tomorrow."
"Oh…why not today?" the boy complained.
" 'Cause today, we'll go shopping for your clothes and stuff. Do you know when you'll get admitted in the academy?"
"Ah.. Hokage-jiji said that I can enroll when I'm six, so I can attend the academy next year."
"hmm.. alright. Your training schedule is studying in the morning, which includes reading, writing, history and such."
"But why do I need to study those? I thought you were training me to be a ninja?" Naruto whined.
"I am. But you need to learn those things, too. They're important, especially if you want to be the Hokage."
"Really?!"
"Yup. You'll need those in signing documents and stuff.. anyways, back on your schedule. An hour and a half after you eat lunch will be physical training. All that ninjutsu stuff can be thought after school when you start the academy. And finally, an hour after dinner, you will do meditation and chakra control. You got that?"
"Yes, sis!"
She smiled at him before standing up and gathering the empty plates. She placed them in the sInk before turning to Naruto. "What are you waiting for? Christmas? Go take a bath. We'll go shopping for Your things."
"Hai!" the blonde grinned widely at the girl before running upstairs and taking a bath while Kagome did the dishes.
"You will become a great warrior, Naruto. I'll make sure of that. I promise on the memories of my friends." The girl muttered to herself, smiling as different marks begun to glow along her arms. The marks disappeared after a moment and Kagome continued washing the dishes.
